EVENT: Within The Shadows

[rekindlemyfire]

Who: Everyone
Where: All around Saeng Seong
When: The evenings of July 28th to July 30th
Summary: Despite the festivities, or perhaps because of them, a shadow is cast from the flickering lights of the annual summer festival.
Warnings: Foreboding...

As evening falls on the twenty-eighth, a feeling of unease besets the local residents of the sleepy city. For the first time in a year, businesses in the third and fourth districts seem to close early and streetlights flicker. Odd, for the middle of summer.

The reason for their distress soon becomes apparent, however, when the clock strikes eleven. Symbols not unlike what were carved into special stones within the "killer snow goons" begin to suddenly appear carved into wooden walls, spray-painted onto stone, along with threatening messages scrawled in no language known to the locals, but the guests' native tongues.

And yet for now, all is relatively quiet...

(ooc: This entry is for those who mingle outside after dark. Some will find messages, while others may find something more...

More prompts will be added as the days progress.)

Evening, July 28th
Day, July 29th
Evening, July 29th
July 30th - Coming soon...

[He nods.]

Then we can show it to both of them. Is the priestess lady still at the welcome center?

[smallspot]

I don't know, but if she isn't, I bet she will be at the Temple! We can check there.

[Diarmuid adds one more thing to the symbol and then nods his head.]

There! All done.

[He stands up and carries the paper over to his brother so the other boy can look at it.]

What do you think?

[beforetights]

[He shivers. Even in his brother's handwriting, the symbols look scary.]

I think you did fine.

[Okay, so it was a bit crooked, but it wasn't that much different.]

[smallspot]

It's not perfect, but it's close enough.

[Seeing his brother shiver, makes Diarmuid shiver too.]

Lets go back inside now. I don't want to be out here anymore...

[beforetights]

Yeah. Come on, Grey.

[Cu Chulainn pulls at Grey's leash.]

We're going home.

[smallspot]

[Grey whines, still not really ready to go in because he hasn't found what he was looking for, but eventually allows himself to be pulled toward the apartments. Diarmuid follows, occasionally looking back over his shoulder to make sure nothing is there.]

When we get back inside, lets curl up in my room and eat ice cream. It will make us feel better...

[beforetights]

[Cu Chulainn licks his lips.]

Mm, ice cream! I'd like that.

[He's feeling better already.]

[smallspot]

[Ice cream makes everyone feel better!]

We will get the whole family together and throw a party! We won't let whoever is doing this creepy stuff make us scared and unhappy anymore!

[beforetights]

[He eagerly nods.]

That's a good idea. I'll wake up White, and then we can all have fun!

Thread end?

[smallspot]

Yes, we won't let them defeat us!

[Diarmuid opens the apartment door to let his brother in, glancing back over his shoulder one last time.]

We little knights are stronger than the dark, spooky people!

yep

[beforetights]

[Cu Chulainn also does one last glance over his shoulder before shooing Grey inside.]

Of course we are, as long as we stick together.
